About the workshops
The Ellington Effect workshops take place once a month, and David picks a different Ellington composition to analyze for each one. In about two hours, he talks through the piece note by note, line by line, analyzing the piece at both macro and micro levels.
David Berger has studied the music of Duke Ellington for over 50 years, and has transcribed over 500 Ellington and Strayhorn arrangements and compositions. Because of this, he is able to make connections to Ellington's other pieces, talk about trends and eras in Ellington's writing, and discuss the influences of changing personnel on the music over time.
At the end of each workshop, David answers questions for a half hour or so. These are always lively and fascinating, as workshop attendees tend to include some highly knowledgable Ellingtonians as well as plenty of intelligent musicians who ask insightful questions.

The fruits of Jazz at Lincoln Center’s educational mission will be on display with Internationally Ellington, featuring a hand-picked ensemble of some of the greatest young talent in jazz meeting the challenges posed by Duke Ellington, JALC’s lodestar and jazz’s greatest composer. “Duke played with musicians all over the world, incorporated so many people into his band, wrote music for all the different cultures – everything from the Far East Suite to the Shakespearean suite (Such Sweet Thunder) to the Latin American Suite to the Liberian Suite,” says Wynton Marsalis. “Duke was out there in front, dealing with the world as a singular place.”
